9, Mourne View, Peel, Isle Of Man, IM5 1uj
Permission was granted for alterations and an extension to the dwelling at 9 Mourne View, Peel — a bungalow located near the top of a small cul-de-sac of ten similar properties in the Parish of German. The main planning concerns during the assessment were potential overlooking of the neighbouring property at No 7 Mourne View, which sits at a lower level, and the design and appearance of the extension. To address these issues, the application was amended: the rear patio extension was removed entirely, and a large area of rear glazing was replaced with two smaller windows. Following those amendments, the application was approved by delegated decision on 15 December 2020, subject to two conditions.
The Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture approved the application on 15 December 2020. The proposal was amended during the process to address concerns about overlooking — the rear patio extension was removed and large rear glazing was reduced to two smaller windows — bringing the scheme to an acceptable standard in terms of both neighbour impact and design.
